We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

Mankind leaves Earth
As Earth is ravaged by a nuclear war the powers in the war send out ships to colonize the solar system, hoping to preserve their race.

Humanity is exterminated
The scattered human colonies are invaded by an alien force, although they fight back valiantly they are eventually crushed by the alien's numbers.

The colonies enter a cold war
The lingering hostilities from the Earth war escalate, leading to a complete shutdown of communication and rampant paranoia between the colonies.

Discovery of the Asteroids

As the colonies wage their cold war, a fleet of living asteroids and their Kaiju parasites headed towards the solar system are discovered by several high-powered telescopes. They eventually take up orbit around Saturn and colonize its rings.

Start of the G.M. (Giant mecha) program
One of the colonies starts a program to build giant robots to defend themselves against the asteroid creatures, should they be hostile.

Focus: Humanity colonizes the solar system

The Scandinavian Alliance's colony ship arrives at Europa
After it's long journey to the outer solar system the Scandinavian Alliance's colony ship finally enters Jupiter's orbit. As the ship begins to wake the crew members from stasis a large explosion in the middle of the ship shears it in half, leaving the colonists sealed off in the front half of the ship with the habitation and farming modules, but destroying much of the industrial equipment and leaving the rest floating in space, having to be recovered via expensive and dangerous operations.
(An event in Humanity colonizes the solar system, before Europa goes silent

Why did the ship blow up?
After being woken, several members of Thor's Smiting Hammer sneak to the back of the ship to find and set up the explosives they stashed in one of mining rigs. In their last moments of life Halvar calls them to confirm the explosives are ready and gives them the command to activate them.

Characters:
Swedish terrorist sect Thor's Smiting Hammer. A terrorist sect that believes they're the Valkyries of Valhalla, selected to keep humanity from escaping Ragnarök.
Halvar Blotch: Commander of the Valkyries on the Europa colony ship.

Solar Soviet colonists find an ominous structure on Phobos.
Shortly after the Solar Soviet colonization of Mars, the emerging civilization quickly sent out more colonization ships to the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. Soon after the landing, the Solar Soviets discover a mysterious, metallic door-like structure built into Phobos' landscape, impervious to any damage and remaining closed.
